Unforunately, your request to do this in MCE won't yield you useful results,
as everything from the PS2 will be delayed by approx 2-3 seconds due to Live
TV buffering.

Unless you can react to things that happen that you won't see on screen
until about 2-3 seconds later, your gameplay experience will suffer greatly.
Your best recourse is to use the third party software (which you are using
now) when you want to play your Playstation 2 through your computer.

This isn't an issue specific to Sony's Playstation, the same happens with
other consoles too (it's the nature of the beast).

Thanx a lot.

Can u suggest me any 3rd party program to get signal from my SVideo input,
to play my PS2? I need just to see picture, no need to capture, TV or
something. I need as primitve as possible program, and possible free. I dont
like Pinnacle Media Center, it is huje, hard and complex program, that has
too many features that I dont need. And I dont need to have 2 Media Centers
on my PC =) Pinnacle Media Center also dont have tools to configurate
Contrast and Brightnes.
